I’m a Pants Man

December 29, 2008

After taking a week off work for Christmas, I had an odd experience travelling to work today. You see, I couldn’t quite work out why I was getting such odd looks on the tram. A really odd mix of disturbed and amused looks. I shrugged it off, I look odd at the best of times. [...]

Introducing the Semi-Concerning Problems Hotline

December 21, 2008

There’s barely four hours of sleep in me, but what a night! We had a bit of a gay pub crawl around the city and ended up crawling home at 4am. I’ve always marvelled at the uniqueness of the “back room” concept at gay bars. Really, it’s just ticking the last missing box for the [...]

Nandon’t

December 14, 2008

Everyone’s got an awesome local takeaway food shop in their area. Here in Port Melbourne, it’s the awesome chicken shop we have nearby. The two blokes who run this joint are champs. You get discounts if you’re a local, a guaranteed laugh, free food if your order is taking a little while to prepare, and [...]

When Transhumanism Attacks

December 3, 2008

There’s a reason I like my new gym: it’s a roidmuncher haven. Let’s be honest: if you’re working out, you may as well have something nice to look at. While I’ve been to other gyms in the past, they were all much too broad a representation of the community. No, what I have is a [...]

Lite and Easy to Shame

December 1, 2008

This will no doubt see me suffering some mockery in comments, but Adam and I started Lite & Easy the other week. We’ve done it before, and it helped us lose the weight we wanted pretty quickly. Yes, it’s a little bit lazy; and yes, the food isn’t exactly gourmet (although it’s not that bad) [...]
